Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eriococcus Caterpillar sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 220th most-seen of the 875 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and April–May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eriococcus Caterpillar in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in March and June–December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eriococcus Caterpillar is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (58 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
